Yes, but can it run Empire for the -10?

Found a program I wrote in 1981 and decided to bring it back to life
The oldest program source I still have is Empire written in Fortran-10 for the DecSystem 10, circa 1978 or so.

I thought backing it up using github was a good idea.
A modern version that will run on Windows can be obtained from:

Ask HN: Publish old projects even though the source code embarrasses you by now?
Nice! This prompted me to post my own code from the same era: https://github.com/pjc50/ancient-3d-for-turboc
I guess I should add screenshots.

Step Away from Stack Overflow
Twenty-five years ago, slightly before I was an undergraduate, I got hold of the PC Games Programmers Encyclopedia http://bespin.org/~qz/pc-gpe/ and built myself a software renderer. You can see it on github: https://github.com/pjc50/ancient-3d-for-turboc
Software matrix multiplication is a perfectly reasonable way of doing 3D graphics, when you don't have a GPU. They were just starting to become a consumer product at that time: https://fabiensanglard.net/3dfx_sst1/

The set of things you had to worry about is just .. different. My ancient programmer credentials from 1996: https://github.com/pjc50/ancient-3d-for-turboc
Back in the day, you had:

Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, part I
Is this where I post the code I wrote twenty-five years ago to do 16-bit fixed-point 3D rendering? https://github.com/pjc50/ancient-3d-for-turboc
The target architecture was a 33MHz 486 PC running in "real" (ie sixteen-bit) mode. While hardware floating point was sometimes available (DX systems) it was quite slow.
What are some alternatives?
